Kia is taking to this year’s Chicago Auto Show with a boxy new concept.

Although the automaker didn’t specify on which model the concept will be based, the lone teaser strongly hints at a variant of the funky Soul hatchback.

Billed as an off-roader “built for city dwellers seeking the ultimate urban escape,” the only technical detail Kia dropped is that the concept will boast an electric all-wheel-drive (eAWD) system, meaning we can expect some form of hybridization under its boxy sheet metal.

Unless it leaks online first, we’ll bring you more on Kia’s new concept when the Chicago Auto Show kicks off on February 12.
